Yamawaki Sangetsudo: Chocochofu

A Modern Chocolate Twist on a Beloved Okayama Confection

Chocochofu is a contemporary take on Chofu, a traditional confection that has long been enjoyed in Okayama. Created by Yamawaki Sangetsudo, a long-established Japanese confectionery founded in 1881, this innovative sweet has attracted attention as a new local specialty.

Traditional Chofu consists of soft gyuhi, a chewy rice-based confection similar to mochi, wrapped in a thin layer of castella sponge cake. Chocochofu reimagines this classic combination with a chocolate theme throughout: rich chocolate-flavored mochi is wrapped in a delicate chocolate crêpe, creating a treat that chocolate lovers will appreciate.

Rich Chocolate Flavor with a Delicate Japanese Touch

Despite its generous chocolate flavor and aroma, Chocochofu is not overly sweet. Its carefully balanced sweetness gives it a refined, distinctly Japanese character, while the moist, tender crêpe and pleasantly chewy chocolate mochi create an appealing contrast in texture.

For visitors exploring Okayama, Chocochofu offers a delicious way to discover how the region’s traditional sweets are being reimagined for modern tastes. It is a tempting choice for anyone seeking a local souvenir that combines Japanese confectionery craftsmanship with the familiar appeal of chocolate.
